The word ‘paradigm’ was popularised by Thomas Kuhn in his seminal book structure of Scientific Revolutions in the early 1960s. Since then, considerable developments have taken place, for instance in complex systems and chaos theory, epigenetics and consciousness studies. However, materialist paradigms remain dominant within the Academy and resist any fundamental shift of worldview by ignoring or denying evidence suggesting that there might be a spiritual dimension transcending physical reality. The Scientific and Medical Network has been working at the frontiers of science, consciousness and spirituality for 45 years, and has this year been coordinating a project and producing a report from the Galileo Commission on the emergence of evidence-based spirituality and a post materialist science. Prof Harald Walach will be presenting the findings of this report. We will come together to discuss how best to catalyse a paradigm shift to a wider and deeper view across a number of disciplines.

Confirmed speakers include polymath Prof Ervin Laszlo, physician Dr Piero-Mario Biava on the epigenetic code and its different functions; a new vision of life and medicine,  cosmologist and healer Dr Jude Currivan on the Cosmic Hologram, psychologist Dr Nitamo Montecucco on a new paradigm on neuropsychosomatics, philosopher Dr Dietmar Rothe on a new paradigm for philosophy and consciousness, Prof Dr Harald Walach on an all-encompassing science and David Lorimer on transcending naturalism.

 

Please send your abstracts on the theme to David Lorimer, [email protected] by July 31 at the latest.

I remember being hit by Euclid’s proof that there is no largest prime number. I was eleven. Some years later it was girls with their sweet eyes, the cadences of Keats and Johnson, nearly being struck by lightning on Mount Olympus, skidding out of control on a wet road and having nowhere to go.
